✈ We are delighted to welcome American DJ and Producer from Chicago/Minneapolis, currently based in Berlin: JON HESTER.

Hailing from the Midwest US, Jon Hester is an embodiment of the movements, sounds, and attitude that have continued to push techno and house forward. His energy and enthusiasm brought him all the way from beginnings in Chicago and Minneapolis to his present home base of Berlin.

With music released on Rekids, Klockworks, Deeply Rooted, and performances worldwide at clubbing institutions such as Berghain Berlin, Rex Club Paris, fabric London, and Vent Tokyo, he is equally keen for the fresh intensity of newer clubs dotting South America and South Africa. Jon continues building on the very expression he connected with more than 25 years ago via his label, Participation, an outlet for his own output as well as collaborative efforts with fellow artists in the global techno and house community. The collaborations are realized through a reciprocal exchange of sketches between artists, with artwork consisting of a simple one-line drawing from Hester himself – underscoring the directness, honesty, and immediacy of the music presented.

Participation launched in October 2023 with a solo EP from Hester, followed by collaborations with Panorama Bar favorite Cassy, Madrid Techno figurehead Tadeo, Tokyo's legendary DJ Shufflemaster, Swedish mainstay Joel Mull, UK phenomenon The Advent, Icelandic icon Exos, American live act Lady Starlight, and Uruguayan upstart William Arist. With more projects in the works, Participation will continue to inspire, surprise, and delight listeners around the globe, with the impressive depth and breadth of Hester’s tastes and abilities on full display.

Enjoy and feel free to share! Love & Techno

MindTrip Podcast 111 - Pfirter & Profiler

In 2026, it’s 36 years of activism with passion. Electric Rescue is considered one of the made-in-France masterpieces of the electronic music but also a worldwide renowned artist. His hits are regularly played by electronic music masters like: Laurent Garnier, Len Faki, Ben klock, Dax J, Fjaak, Ellen Allien, Perc, marcel Dettmann, Sven Väth, Slam or Luke Slater.

Electric Rescue has been forging a strong specificity in the electronic landscape by defending a techno neither conceding nor creating compromises, similar in this aspect to his friend Laurent Garnier.His productions have been signed on labels like Cocoon, Virgo, Arts, F Communications, Cod3QR, Soma, Sci + Tec, Boys noize and his own label Skryptöm of course.....

Electric Rescue is also a famous name as live artist and DJ. Since more than two decades, he has been traveling the world preaching the techno good word with passion and modesty. He had the opportunity to play in mythic clubs such as Berghain/Panorama Bar (Berlin), Tresor (Berlin), Weather Festival (France), The Edge (São Paulo), Concrete (Paris), The Egg (Londres), Herr Zimmerman (Rotterdam), Air Club (Tokyo), Moog (Barcelone)

His artistic effervescence is also the result of his good Skryptöm Records management, an establishment he founded in 2006, on which he has signed many tracks for Traumer, Moteka, Kmyle, Popof, Julian Jeweil, Scan X, Maxime Dangles, Commuter, dusty kid, the label has collaborated with renowned remixers like: Antigone, Mark Broom, Truncate, Slam, Johannes Heil, Secluded, Xhin, Inigo Kennedy, Zadig, Laurent Garnier, Jonas Kopp, , Flug, Danton Eeprom or The Hacker. On his former label, Calme Records (1999/2005), he was releasing tracks and remixes of Surburban Knight, DJ ESP / Woody Mc Bride, Thomas P Heckmann, Neil Landstrumm, Oxia, Paul Nazca, Southsoniks.

Electric Rescue is also involved in organising parties in Paris, with its Skryptöm residency at Kilomètre 25, Glazart, Rex Club, 1988 live club in Rennes and its famous Play parties in unusual and secret venues around the French capital. Always on the lookout for new artists emerging in techno, he was the first to invite artists like Boys Noize, Laurent Garnier, Ben Klock, Ellen Allien, Stephan Bodzin, Dave Clarke, Anthony rother, Oscar mulero, Dusty Kid, Gary Beck, Alan Fitzpatrick, blue hour, cleric and Paul Ritch to mix in Paris, from the newcomer to the biggest artists from our electronic scene.

At the same time, he is pursuing a lesser-known activity in his career, the artistic direction of clubs such as Kilomètre25, Glazart since 2021. He founded Nexus in 2019 and withdrew in September 2022 to devote himself solely to Kilomètre25 and Glazart. 

Considered as a discrete but efficient techno activist, Electric Rescue has been insuffling in his entire work the Rave values which he has been adopting, defending them and making them self-references (exchanging, sharing, brotherhood, freedom, underground culture) rejecting so the blinding DJ business spot lights

In 2026, A new album will be released on Cod3QR Laurent Garnier label, a very
surprising opus with some group collaborations with artists such as Abd Al Malik, Amélie
Nilles, Gaspar Claus, Boscaro and his brother Maxime Dangles who will arrive on a huge
label to be name soon.

2026 promises to be another nice year for Electric Rescue.

Heron presents: The Grasshopper Warbler 059 w/ Oliver Way

Many times, biographies of techno acts start by singing their praise of an extremely early,
extraordinary talent on synthesizers and other electronic devices.

In Heron’s case, things are different. Because Martin Spittel has been shaped musically since his childhood, the influences were as diverse as music can be.

On one side, there was his grandfather, who played various instruments, and to whom young Martin related closest to and whose influence still lasts until today. On the other side there were his cousins who were not much older than himself, enthusiastic about AC/DC, and band members themselves. Over the course of the following years, he explored the diversity of Black, Death and Trash Metal, EBM and Industrial, right up to Detroit Techno.

Ever since then, Heron's environment served as compensation to ferce parties and expanding his musical horizon. This symbiosis from the love of nature and the musical influences from his early childhood are a direct reflection of Heron’s entire life.

Following the scream of the waders (limicoline birds), he moved to picturesque island Norderney in 2003. There, exploring the island’s national park, he decided to live up to his enthusiasm about nature by going to study landscape ecology at the University of Münster. It turned out: The relocation to Münster was the initial spark for his career; the months in Norderney were inspiration for the name of his label “Limikola” which was founded in late 2008 and enjoyed enormous support by both DJs and fans.

After launching his now very successful °Schaltkreis-parties with four friends in mid-2007, everything went quickly: His first own radio show “The Grasshopper Warbler”, contacts to prominent players like Someone Else and Heartthrob, and finally the moment in early 2008 during the season’s opening at Time Warp, when Richie Hawtin played all three tracks from Heron’s Retro EP. It was merely his second EP, released on a netlabel (Minisome), and it became immediately successful. A knightly accolade.

The journey that Heron started lead to his bombshell track “Welcome to the Adventure Club” that charted in the Beatport charts in 2008, and continued with remixes and releases for Synewave, Supdub, Swap, micro.fon, Prosthetic Pressings and Sleaze Records. In 2010, it culminated with a tour across North America during the summer.

Two years later he released his very first EP on the legendary Detroit label KMS Records, owned by Kevin Saunderson, followed by remixes for Drumcomplex, P-Ben and Chris Gekä, one collaboration project with Inner City's Ann Saunderson and his second solo release „Ride The Pride“. Furthermore he made the step into the Soma family by publishing three solo EPs and an EP with Kevin's son Dantiez Saunderson, as well as he started to release on Florian Meindl's FLASH Recordings.
